Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wouldn't wanna waste your time
Call you if I change my mind
I'm trying not to be unkind
Still wanted you back on my side
Never wanna make you cry
Pretending everything's all right
Couldn't have you on my doorstep
I wouldn't wanna waste your time
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'll meet you in the car on the corner
But we know it's gotta change sometime
You know I love the taste of your water
But I think it's time we say goodbye
Yeah, I'll meet you in the car on the corner
But you're never gonna change my mind
You know I wanna stay, but you gotta
Leave because it don't feel right
This time, alright
[Verse 2]
Slipping through the streets all night
Still bruising from your chalk skin bites
Meet you in the car for five
Not sleeping at your place tonight
Monday's always on my mind
Pretending everything's alright
Couldn't have you on my doorstep
I wouldn't wanna waste your time
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'll meet you in the car on the corner
But we know it's gotta change sometime
You know I love the taste of your water
But I think it's time we say goodbye
Yeah, I'll meet you in the car on the corner
But you're never gonna change my mind
You know I wanna stay, but you gotta
Leave because it don't feel right
This time, alright
[Bridge]
Shouldn't let you stay
We've taken this too far
It's tearing me apart-part this time
Couldn't let you stay
You know I hate this game
It's tearing me apart-part
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'll meet you in the car on the corner
But we know it's gotta change sometime
You know I love the taste of your water
But I think it's time we say goodbye
Yeah, I'll meet you in the car on the corner
But you're never gonna change my mind
You know I wanna stay, but you gotta
Leave because it don't feel right
This time, alright
